I added my vampire sim into a new household which is my actual active household. I've been managing 4 households in town. My main one is 2 men sims , and the 2nd one is a vampire one. I asked the vampire sim move in, then added.

The problem is that all the fruits and vegetables in the storage box which the vampire sim had just before moving in are all out of the box in the family inventory. I have no idea how to save them in easier way.

The best way I'd like to know is how to add them into my actual family's storage box without hard work like putting one by one on lot.
The 2nd best way I'd like to know is how to sell them in one grab in family inventory if the first way is not possible.

If there's no way in basic game, then I wouldn't mind any mod recommendation if it's not breaking your rule. Thanks. :)

You must have really many fruits and vegetables :o Why not put them in the fridge instead? It should move with the household then.

@Nindigo  Because my vampire sim didn't have his own house. He has been staying in Vlad's mansion until he moved. I didn't need any fridge because actually he can't eat human food anyway.

@Summers A fridge is the only handy container for harvestables that comes to my mind. When you say storage box, do you mean the family inventory in build mode? I do see how tiresome it would be to put your greenery in there. You could put a filled fridge in there though. I'll stop talking about fridges now ::)

There seems to be a bug around the storage boxes and fridge when your sims moves houses. I've had the items just deleted twice now both from the fridge and from the storage boxes. It was super annoying both times as they were perfects fruits etc for starting a new garden so both times I ended up have to start from scratch again and planting a brand new garden.

The safest way if to actually place the harvestables into the personal sims inventory. That way the items will be there for sure when your sims arrives in their new home.

There really isn't any easy way of transferring fruits etc apart from either as one large stack or painfully one-by-one. If harvestables are in the household inventory it is probably easiest to drag one of each out for replanting and then sell the rest. But if you really want/need the harvestables then it will just take some in-game time to drag them out and then place them into either a sims personal inventory or a fridge etc. It is a painfully slow process and I really wish the developers would look at inventory management and make some seriously needed changes.

@Nindigo I meant this box I attached. But I think the fridge works as the same way. My main household also has the fridge, and my vampire sim's fridge is in the family inventory as well. When I placed it on lot, vampire's fridge was having my main family's food and fruits in it. When I placed the storage box on lot, it was having my main family's collections in it, too. Looks like the storage and fridge can have only one family's items, and the other family ones, they just go straight into the family inventory.

Thanks for the good tip. I will do that next time. Fortunately, my 2 human guys of main family has the perfect items each, so it doesn't matter. I just wanted to know there came a fixed way by EA patch recently, because I've been playing the sims 3 for a year.  I haven't had any patch information about the sims 4. Thanks a lot. :)

Summers, if you want to try a mod to move these items, you might try the one called Inventory Cleaner on www.ModtheSims.info.  I haven't used it, but I think it uses console commands to move or sell whole inventories.  If it doesn't do exactly what you want, it still might offer something to speed up part of your process.

That's the great tip. Thanks very much. I will have a look later. :D
